In most cases I'd think Wikipedia is accurate, I've never came across anything that is outright wrong or any vandalism. However I don't think they are a good source as far as labeling band's genres go.

At least not anymore...maybe 10 years ago it would have been noticed.

Here in PropgArchives we done it several times and posted here, you just need to check, as a fact I corrected wrong information a lot of times
 
I don't trust Wikipedia, except when they quote references from reliable sites.

Nice piece and great playing, but it doesn't sound progressive at all - just riffing over a simple song structure. IMO of course.

Please, MTV is reliable in Rap or Pop, not in Prog
 
And Wikipedia is a place that can be edited by anybody
 
None of both is reliable at all IMHO.
 
Don't know the band so won't say a word, but I believe that a band needs to be vastly recognized by the Prog community appart fr0om being influential AND influenced by our genre.
 
If other already included bands don't fulfill this requirements, it's not justification for adding other bands that shouldn't be here.

Sounded like Math/Groove Metal to my ears.

I thought the earlier stuff was more funk-influenced metal than anything, especially L.D. 50.

There is a lot of Math-Metal in their early works, but their newest stuff is pop all the way. 

I'm on the fence, personally.

I used to own their first two (as well as some of their newer I believe) and I don't remember them being particularly prog.

Hearing is 100% reliable and every piece of music can be simply categorized by just listening.

Mudvayne is indeed a very underrated band, although I haven't liked their last few albums as much as their first two. And yes, they were a prog band.

I'm not sure, but I'm positive that a TV station that doesn't even play music anymore and never played any prog at all, barring some Pink Floyd, and a Wiki entry that any idiot could have added are not. Have you read the metal sections of Wikipedia? They're not really...intelligent.

Prog related requires influencing the prog scene, has Mudvayne influenced actual prog?

Why do you feel that Wikipedia, the Boston Herald, and MTV are accurate judges of progressive rock at all, much less how we consider it? This is how accurate people in print journalism are about us: The Wall Street Journal in their best of 2009 rock list mentioned Insurgentes and said that Steve Wilson also fronted "The Porcupine Trees".
